Issues with connecting Orion Atlas and ZWO/ASI EFW filter wheel was created by Shahd

Hi,

I followed the setup steps as indicated here (www.indilib.org/download/virtual-machine.../5-vm/7-ekos-vm.html), and added all the USB devices:

Attachment not found



When I run ekos only the camera gets connected, the filter wheel (ZWO/ASI EFW) and the mount (orion atlas/PC direct mode) don't. what am I doing wrong? I have zero experience with using VM and ekos/kstars.

Thanks

Did you try enabling USB 3 above?

Yes. Are there drivers that I have to download for the filter wheel and the mount? or maybe there's an issue with the cables, even EQMOD can't find the mount.

Just make sure the Ekos VM is up to date. Run the following code in the Konsole:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade
Then restart your machine after the update. Make sure to select your USB devices from the "Devices" menu of VirtualBox ---> USB. If they are not selected there, they won't show up in Ekos VM.
